It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that everyone should follow, unless they don't want to, in which case they are free to ignore it, in which case nobody will care. Please make use of the standing on one knee position to propose to this policy.

According to the founders of Uncyclopedia, the unofficial mission of Uncyclopedia is to provide a SPOV, or Satirical Point of View, to life. In the wiki format, however, it frequently deviates from this goal, and produces somewhat humorous articles on all topics, most of which is not necessarily classifiable as satire.

Humor of all categories enters the wiki, prompting an equally freeflowing response, such as the vandalistic classification of articles as "Childish Mysoginistic Humor" becoming an official category. In some senses, the site is a parody of itself, accepting inside jokes on its own being. An example is the "I burning your dog" article, which mocks the site's guidelines page.
